    Forgot to put “make sure the project compiles” in his .md files. What an amateur.

    I have a visceral “AI” sensor that triggers when I see these:

    “Rust Implementation (v2)”

    “Performance Benchmarks (Validated)”

    Human beings don’t self-validate explicitly like that. AI loves doing it.

    You generate code, there’s a bug, you ask for a fix, your AI of choice will always output with:

    *** Fix build issue ***

    *** End fix ***

    and then call it “Version 2 (Validated)”.

    Sometimes it’s more subtle, but you can feel it, it loves adding “confirmed”, “working”, “validated”.

      My sensor is much simpler. If I see emoji in headings or bulleted lists, I assume it’s shit. It might be AI slop, or it might just be kids getting overexcited with the little pictures, but both deserve suspicion and scrutiny.

      If a bunch of the emoji don’t even make sense it can get in the bin.

      I have a project with a bunch of compose files that define the services I self host. I “deploy” the project by sshing into my server and doing “git pull” which means I’m often making changes that don’t get tested before committing to source control. As a result I have long chains of commits like:

      • refactor the sproingy widget
      • refactor the sproingy widget v2
      • refactor the sproingy widget working
      • maybe the sproingy widget works this time?
      • ok finally found the issue with refactor sproingy widget
      • fix formatting of sproingy widget

      And now I’m wondering if I’ve been an llm this whole time

        Make your changes in a new branch and rebase/squash when you push it to main.

          This also means modifying your git pull command to pull the correct branch. A small change perhaps, but may be harder than just committing to main lol.

          I had a similar problem with GitHub actions, it was hard to test without messing up the main repo history.

      Maybe it’s just me but most times I try to compile a software project from source, it’s gonna take a long time figuring out stuff not mentioned in the readme and I will probably give up in the end.

    I am no programmer and understand almost nothing of the documentation and yet somehow I can tell it’s all bullshit.

    It reads like a kid making up words in an attempt to sound smart mixed up with the description for a shady Amazon product.

      That’s absolutely awesome!

      I’m gonna start referring to this as ‘smelling AI slop’

      You got the sense to sniff it out, even without programming experience. And that’s a damn good sense to have these days 👍

    Performance Benchmarks (Validated) yup, 100% totally validated. It’s like when you buy something thats wayy too cheap for what it should be off of Temu and it shows up with a QC and Validation card that they clearly just print on a large sheet and cut down that says QC OK

      Oh the fancy ones are separate bits of paper. Mostly they print a qc check with a tick right onto the packaging

      To be honest, I don’t think that changes anything. Once you got the relation Z = 0, O = 1, etc., or whatever symbol you represent “1”, “2”, etc., you just have to do algebra.

        Also, how is AI gonna interpret such code without running it first?

        Its kinda easy for human eyes to see what I did, but how is AI gonna comprehend what letter equals what number?

          It doesn’t comprehend anything. That’s the damn point.

          Though it WILL “understand” what you did by the algorithms that break down code turning the variable into another token. So all you’re really doing is costing yourself more time and money in the slop machine.

            I don’t participate in the slop machine yo. I’m just a regular human goober, just goofing off. I dunno how effective or not it might be, but feel free to do whatever you want, or don’t want, with my code.

            Here’s an update…

        Exactly. But it totally throws off AI…

        I’ve got a more extended version I’m still casually working on when I get bored, which includes ELRUIYDAMB

        Care to guess what those letters mean numerically?

        I’ll drop a clue, B=Billion
